Maha elections: Common aim, different ways

After the Maha-divorce in Maharashtra, the Maha campaigns have begun. Well, as expected, they are proceeding quite interestingly, with politicians from their respective parties hitting out on one another. Earlier, when alliance existed, there were umpteen attempts by each alliance to emerge victorious. But now that alliances have broken and parties have parted ways, each party is trying its level best to compete.

Congress had come out with an advertise saying: sarvatpudheaahe, ha Maharashtra mazha. The BJP’s bypoll advertisement questions this claim: kutheaahe Maharashtra mazha? In the meantime, Congress is projecting ex-chief minister Prithviraj Chavan in their latest advertisement while NCP is projecting Ajit Pawar. Shiv Sena has launched Mission 150 apart from advertisements and campaigns. MNS too, has declared its plan for the state with a punchline: He shakyaaahe. 

In short – every party is ready to contest elections on their own, without any support of their allies, trying to prove that only they are best for the development of Maharashtra. As elections approach, every political party wakes up and starts emphasizing on works that they have done. Nothing new, or is it? And even as political parties are trying their best to prove so, statesmen continue to face several issues, including the bigger ones like suicide of farmers, rural and tribal development, unemployment and poverty.

At the moment, when political parties, across the spectrum, are in full swing to contest the big state election, they need to have a full proved plan to tackle these crucial issues.
